Ethanol Ads

My husband tells me he's hearing ads now from desperate ethanol producers who are out to make us realize that ethanol has NOTHING to do with rising food costs. No! Of course not! Because [get this!] they aren't producing ethanol out of the corn we eat for food. Oh, no! They are just using the feed corn.

Well, of course. The feed corn for the animals is what's going into our fuel tanks. Not the food we humans eat! See? NOTHING to worry about!

Are they really so stupid as to think we don't realize the animals' feed corn is what provides us with milk, butter, cheese, eggs, beef, chicken, and pork? Good grief!

(And the scary thing is ... what if they're right, and we are stupid enough to buy into this propoganda???)

  1. And if their statement was accurate, I suppose no farmers decided to grow feed/ethanol corn instead of food grade corn!

  2. Yeah, And my dear husband in the Oil Business, can not understand how these so called "producers" of fuel can keep on thinking they are doing some good. Sheesh. Drill now, Drill here and pay less.
